Rename? #2

Closed tmcw closed 11 years ago

tmcw commented 11 years ago

Might be an odd question, but there's a relatively high-profile mapping library that shares this name and will be on npm. Could this module be renamed leaflet-fs or similar so that users can npm install leaflet?

AndreasMadsen commented 11 years ago

@tmcw if you come up with a serious alternative name, then yes definitely!

Why leaflet-fs is not very good? Well it will clearly be associated with a high-profile mapping library.

Hmm - so a different name entirely? That's probably something that you'd want to decide.

If you wanted to stick with the reading/printing/pamphlet theme, some choices might be "quarto" or "octavo" (some hits on github, nothing on npm), or "affiche" (ditto). Or "quire" or "cahier". Choosing a foreign word is often a good way to go -- you could go with "lector" ("reader" in Spanish, with related meanings in English), "lecteur" (French) or "okuyucu" (Turkish).

@tmcw Of cause, I just think that for such a big change some effort is required.

@jfirebaugh I like the cahier name, the module is renamed and unpublished, thanks for the suggestion.
